Chapter 1333: Chapter 738: Adults Want It All!
During the journey, they would pass through an altitude of 7,000 meters, encounter dangerous ice forests, and endure temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius.
They needed to walk for nine days to get through here.
So, these six people had already started the trek since their last return.
Walking at the front, Ni Ergou complained while panting, “That brat Qing Chen must be holding a grudge against me for picking on him before, so he’s taking revenge. He gets to take a cruise and travel by luxury express train to climb, and while the boss took Lu Yuan to fight enemies in North America, we have to climb so far!”
Ni Ergou continued to grumble, “That kid Lu Yuan got the sweeter deal and still acted like a goody-two-shoes, saying he was going to the most dangerous place… I asked to switch with him, but he wouldn’t agree, that scoundrel!”
The five people behind him laughed cheerfully, “Boss, we’ve already passed the most dangerous part, and we’ve survived the worst days, so why bring this up now?”
“I didn’t mention it on the road because I was afraid it would affect your morale,” Ni Ergou said. “Now that we’re almost there, of course, I can talk about it.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the time on his hand, “Two more minutes, let’s stop and find me a big rock.”
…
…
At the floating airship factory in the suburbs of New York, He Jinqiu received a call from Jiu Ran: “We’ve destroyed the airport of armed helicopters, they can’t provide support, the plan is complete.”
He Jinqiu nodded with a smile, “Without an air force, the Kingdom and Future can’t reach downtown in time. By the time they get there, Boss Zheng and Zard should have already evacuated.”
He then glanced at the time, “The last minute.”
Beside the Kingdom Tower, people in over a dozen office buildings stopped working, silently watching as the Time Travelers who had sneaked into the tower gathered on the rooftop.
The ground was already locked down by the Kingdom’s troops. The entire area within a five-kilometer radius around the tower was completely sealed off, including these onlookers who were also notified not to leave the building, with everyone ready for inspection and questioning.
Further away, Kingdom soldiers suddenly opened dozens of containers, from which genetic warriors resembling werewolves rushed out, charging towards the Kingdom Tower under the soldiers’ guidance.
Bystanders retreated in shock upon seeing this scene.
The werewolves advanced by leaping on car tops, each leap spanning over ten meters.
The Kingdom organization had woven a large net on land and sea, determined to capture all intruders.
More and more people stood by the windows.
Not far from Mount Everest Base Camp, Ni Ergou looked at the two doors in front of him, “Confirm it’s the left one, don’t let me smash the wrong one!”
“Yes, it’s the left one!”
Ni Ergou lifted a massive stone over his head and smashed it hard against the wooden door frame on the ground.
With a deafening crash.
In the next moment, in the brightly lit New York Downtown, hundreds of people vanished into thin air in front of tens of thousands of witnesses.
In over a dozen office buildings, people rubbed their eyes in disbelief, “Where are they?! Where did everyone go?!”
This time, Joker played the same trick again, performing magic on the world’s most bustling stage for tens of thousands, shaking everyone’s understanding of this world.
Within just a few minutes, terms like ‘Magic Troupe’ shot up the hot search lists overseas.
In the first face-to-face confrontation between Oriental Time Walkers and Western Time Walkers, without a doubt, the Kingdom and Future Organization lost utterly and completely.
The psychological advantages they had gained against Kyushu were lost overnight!
The onlookers had no idea how these people disappeared. They only knew that the Kingdom and Future lost very thoroughly, which was something they couldn’t accept.
In their eyes, North American Time Travelers should be the mightiest in the world.
Meanwhile, at Mount Everest Base Camp, someone suddenly yelled, “Get off me, someone stepped on my head!”
“Ah, who stepped on my hand!”
Hundreds of Time Travelers were piled up in a heap, and due to the high-altitude environment, some even felt slightly suffocated.
Luckily, everyone was C-Class; overcoming the 8,848-meter altitude was impossible, but 5,000 meters was manageable.
Amidst laughs and chatter, everyone completed the retreat, climbing off the ground jokingly.
The moment the Key of Gate shattered, everyone tumbled out, stacking like an Arhat tower.
Amidst the excitement, footsteps were heard in the distance—Qing Chen had arrived.
He looked at everyone climbing off the ground and laughed, “Thank you all for making this trip; the battle isn’t over yet, so we can’t rest.”
Xiao Qi patted his chest confidently, “No problem, we can keep fighting!”
Zheng Yuandong also laughed, “Where’s the target?”
“Should be on the way,” Qing Chen said. “I thought you’d wait awhile to come; I didn’t expect Ni Ergou to arrive so fast. Now, let’s not wait for them to find us; we’ll go find them… But there might be some variables. I didn’t expect King to have practice legacies, so we might not be able to catch them.”
Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and said, “Let’s try.”
Jindai Yunlo and Jindai Sorajima watched in awe, “I thought your backup was one or two people; I had no idea it was hundreds. You’re really mobilizing a huge force.”
Qing Chen smiled and said, “Knights like to brawl, didn’t you know?”
…
…
On the distant mountain path, King and Nikita just caught a glimpse of Mount Everest Base Camp from a mountain peak, but then he received a satellite phone call, the person on the other side urgently said, “Boss, the people in the tower all vanished at the same time, hundreds of them disappeared simultaneously!”
King froze in place.
Vanished? How was that possible?
Wait a minute.
He pieced together everything that happened tonight, thinking carefully.
Wizard!
The key lies in that wizard with the Golden Eye of Truth!
As a holder of the Black Eye of Truth, King’s ancestors settled on the West Coast centuries ago due to the invasion of the Taboo Land. As an inheritor of the wizard legacy, how could he not consider the use of the Key of Gate?!
Someone must have destroyed the Key of Gate, forcibly pulling back a group of Time Travelers who passed through to the door’s location.
The Key of Gate could be used this way!
“This is bad,” King suddenly thought of a problem, “If they have mastered the strange usage of the Key of Gate, where could they place it for maximum benefit?”
He spoke as he quickly scanned around to ensure no enemy presence before slightly relaxing, “Retreat! Immediately retreat!”
King specifically studied Chinese culture for Joker, even hiring a top student among international students as his private tutor.
Initially, he thought Qing Chen was playing a strategy to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, then he thought it was an empty city strategy.
But until now, King realized Qing Chen’s plan wasn’t to besiege Wei or an empty city, but to wipe out his entire family, everything!
Maybe that Key of Gate wasn’t on Mount Everest, but he didn’t dare to gamble!
At that moment, just as King ordered the retreat, W had already taken out a Polaroid photo, disappearing with the photo.
King sneered, “Quick to run!”
With that, he led his men to retreat down the mountain.
